VALETTA, Nov. 11.—There have been several movements among the ships of the Mediterranean squadron during the week. On Saturday the Re venge, 73 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. R, Ye'vertu, C. 8.), Capt. the Hon. F. A. Foley, left port on a cruise to Sicily and Port Mahon, taking with her as passengers for the trip Major Graham, 22d Regiment, and Capt. Cartwright, 7th Regi, ment. She arrived at Syracuse on the following ANd was to leave shortly for Palermo. The Phoebe, 35, Capt. T. D. A. Fortesetle, left Matta harbour on the Bth inst. for Beyrout, for the pur- pose of relieving on the coast of Syria the Cossack, 22, Capt. W. R. Rolland. The Chanticleer, 17, Commander E. J. Risk, preceded her on the sth inst. for the same destination. The Meeanee, Capt. G. Wodehouse, returned on the sth inst. from Messina without having succeeded in recovering the anchor lost by her Majesty's ship Terrible in that port some three years ago. The Firefly, 4, surveying vessel, Lieut.-Commander G. R. Wilkin. son, will make another trip to the West Coast of Sicily, for hydrographical operations, before laying up for the winter. She has been fitted up with new mainmast, her old one having become Totten, and - she will probably leave port on MOtoday The whole of that part of the coast and the neigh bouring islands are undergoing a new survey, and have been found, as far as the work has proceeded, to be so incorrectly laid down in the charts as to make it appeF that much of the previous survey must have been mere guess work. The Turkish steam yacht Izzedan, Capt. D. It. Comyn, recently built in England for the Sultan, arrived here on the 7th inst., 115 days from London and five from Gibraltar, o❑ her way to Constantinople. Sho left last night for her destination. She experienoed very bad weather on her passage out, which accounts for the length of the voyage. The French steam frigate Cacique, 14, Capt. De Freycuiet, arrived on the 9th inst. from Alexandria, having on board the Prince Lucien Murat, the Princess Caroline, and the Princess Anna and suite. They are returning from a tour in the Holy Land and other parts of the Levant. The Cacique left yesterday for Corsica and Marseilles,under a salute from the saluting battery. Our newly-appointed Governor, Sir Henry Storks, G.C.8., G.C.M.G., is.not to be here so soon as was expected. His Excellency is to leave England on the 20th inst. and to embark at Marseilles on board her Majesty's despatch vessel Psyche, Lieutenant- Commander R• Sterne, about the 27th. Major.. General Ridley is at present Acting Governor. Lieut.-Colonel Dunne, 100th Regiment, 43aptain Walker and Lieut. 'Chambers, 22d Regiment, re. turned to this garrison during the week. The Duke of Somerset, K.G., attended by Capt. Hall, R.N., private secretary, and accompanied by other members of the Board of Admiralty, was expected to arrive at the Admiralty House, Ports mouth dockyard (the residence of Admiral Sir M. Seymour, 0.C.8.) last evening from London. The chief object of His Grace's visit to Portsmouth is understood to be a personal inspection of the 12Iton guns and their carriages on board her Majesty's ships Royal Sovereign and Excellent, in connection with the intended substitution of wrought-iron for their present wooden carriages. He will witness some firing from the 12-ton smooth bore (150• pounder), which, with a rifled 12-ton gun (300- pounder), is mounted as a broadside gun on board that ship. 'rho latter circumstance, however, does not afford any proof that a 12. ton gun can ever be carried as a broadside port gun on board any sea going ship—indeed, it prows just the contrary — for no seagoing ship could he fitted with guns of the same siz., or fulfil the other conditions under which these weapons are now worked with such wonderful facility on board the Excellent, on the smooth waters of Portsmouth harbour. The Marlborough, 121, screw three-decker, Capt. Charles Fellowes,was Officially inspected at Spithead on Tuesday by Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, K.C.8., and yesterday, at the turn of high water, steamed into Portsmouth harbour, and was berthed alongside the transport jetty, where she will be dis mantled and cleared out, preparatory to being paid out of commission. The ship is in unexceptionable order in every part. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., is stripped to her lower masts, alongside Portsmouth dockyard, in process of dis mantling and returning stores in readiness to be paid out of commission on the 22d inst. Among her many descriptions of stores to return to the various departments is her complement of steel shot, which it is satisfactory to find the Admiralty now acknow ledge to be fully as indispensable a part of an iron clad's equipment as is her armour plating. The Victoria screw three-decker, Capt. James G. Goodenough, will leave Portsmouth harbour today for Spithead anchorage, and on Saturday, weather permitting, will make her final trip at the measured mile in Stokes Bay under the superintendence.of the officials of the steam factory and Reserve. The Aurora, 35, screw frigate, Capt. Sir Leopold 11I'Clintock, in dock at Portsmouth, and refitting to proceed to Halifax and the West Indies, will not be out of the hands of the dockyard authorities, if all her present known defects are completed, before the 25th of December. The Aurora is a fair specimen of a wooden frigate under repairs. When once their repairs are taken in hand, the most experienced in such matters cannot tell their ultimate extent. The Alfred target•ship was yeeterdved down Portsmouth harbour from her moorings in Porchester-creek, and at high water grounded on the shoal near the north corner of the dockyard, where her repairs will be temporarily effected in readiness for the trial of " shot penetration under water" under the supervision of the Whit. worth-Armstrong Special Committee at Portsmouth to-morrow, The shell experimental firing from the 70-pounder guns will not, it is expected, be carried any further, and Friday's firing, if it takes place, will conclude the committee's labours at Portsmouth. Her Majesty's paddlewheel frigate Dragon, 1,270 tons and 560-horse power, was yesterday towed up to Woolwich from Sheerness by the Locust, Lieut.-Commander Henry F. Challis, to be broken up; and about the same time the paddlewheel frigate Penelope arrived at Woolwich in tow of the steam tug Adder, from Chatham, for the same purpose. A wharfage and spacious yard at Charlton, adjoining Woolwich dockyard, have been rented by Mr Beech, who has entered into a contract with the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for the purchase and breaking up of a number of ships condemned as useless for the service of her Majesty's fleet. Among the number are the following ;—At Wool wich, the Kite, 300 tons, 170-horse power—the paddle-sloop Ardent, 81 tons and 200-horse power —the screw gun vessel Flying Fish, 871 tons and 350-horse power—the paddle-sloop Firebrand, 1,120 tons and .400-horse power—the screw floating bat tery Trusty, 1,539 tons and 150-horse power engines, fitted with Captain Coles's experimental cupola— the paddlewheel despatch vessel Banshee, 672 tons and 350-horse power—the paddlewheel sloop Gor gon, 1,111 tons and 320-horse power—the Hecate, 817 tons and 240-horse power—the gun vessel Roe buck, 857 tons and 175 horse power—the paddle wheel sloop Scourge,l,l24 tons and 420-horse power —the Venus hulk, the old sailing ships Daphne, Frolic, Fantome, and screw gunboat Daring at Chatham ; and the Alacrity, Hermes, Renard, and Wrangler at Sheerness. The War Department sailing vessel Lord Raglan, R. Wilkins, commander, yesterday hauled off to the powder buoy at Woolwich, partly laden with guns and arms, stores for the Channel Islands, and com menced filling in her magazines with 500 barrels of powder, weighing 1001 b each, for Marohwood in Southampton waters, being the commencement of a shipment of 10,000 barrels ordered for transfer to that depot. . We have to record the death yesterday of Dr Sohn Wm, Bowler, surgeon. uperintendent of Portsmouth PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. Convict Prison. The deceased officer entered the navy in 1827 as assist,-surgeon. His last appoint• ments were to the Victor, 16, Capt. Dawson, on the West Indies station ; the Hazird, 18, Capt. Bell, in which ship he took part in the operations on the coast of China, and for which he received the China medal. His last service afloat was in the Alarm, 26, on the North America and West India station, from which he returned in the summer of 1847. Dr. Bowler was a retired Deputy Inspector of her Ma. jesty's Naval Hospitals and Fleets. Commander Gee. Biddlecombe, appointed Master Attendant of Woolwich dockyard, vice J. M‘Dotiald, yesterday entered upon the duties of his post on his promotion from Keyham. The Government are pursuing with energy their investigations with the object of discovering the best breech-loading system. Mean while, as the ques tion of converting the present stock of Enfields is one of pressing. and every day of growing, import ante, they have selected four patterns of rifles from the 34 sent in for competition, and have directed that six rifles constructed after each of these pat terns shall be forwarded for further trials. The process of conversion is one of considerable nicety, requiring the greatest care in all its stages, other wise, thou- Jgh the gun may bcoomAlwejr,Palcra. is shooting will certainly be spoiled. Machinery, however, in this, as in other cases, supersedes mani pulation, and the riflesconverted on the Mont Storm principle, for example, were ready in six days from the time they reached the factory. When the working arrangements entered into with the Small Arms Company of Birmingham are complete it is expected that muzzle-loading Enfolds converted into bonafidc breech-loaders will be turned oat from their extensive premises with even greater rapidity and precision. As ono of the results of the recent catastrophe Ai Erith a rigid investigation has been made as to the regulations in force at the numerous floating and other powder magazines belonging to the Govern ment, situated on and near the Thames, at Woolwich and its vicinity, Col. Boxer, R,A., Superintendent of the Royal Laboratories, has been in frequent com munication with the authorities at the War Departs went on the subject, and the regulations heretofore carried out, some of which were highly objectionable, have been so amended as to insure more safety to life and property. The keepers of floating powder maga zines, who in some cases resided on board with:their wives and families (thus involving the necessity of having fires), will in future reside on shore, and a number of additional men have been selected, three of whom will be placed on each magazine for night daty only. The making of fires on board for the purplse of cooking, &c., has been abolished, and is strictly prohibited. Other precautionary measures are about to be enforced. In the Royal Naval Reserve Edw. Stanley Curwen has been appointed Hon. Lieut. The Sinking of the Albemarle. Admiral Porter has communicated to the Secre tary of the Navy the following interesting particu lars from Lieut. Cushing in regard to the sinking of the rebel ram Albemarle : "Albemarle Spmd, Oct. 30, 1864. - "Sir,—l have the honour to report that the rebe iron-clad Albemarle is at the bottom of Roanoake River. On the night of the 27th, having prepared my steam launch, I proceeded up towards Ply mouth, with 13 officers and men, partiy volunteers from the squadron. The distance from the mouth of the river to the ram was about eight miles, the stream averaging in width some 200 yards, and lined with the enemy's pickets. A mile below the town was the wreck of the Southfield, surrounded by some echooners,and it was understood that a guu ,vas mounted there to command the bend. I there fore took one of the Shamrock's cutters in tow, with orders to cast off and board at that point if we were hailed. Our boat succeeded in passing the pickets and even the Smithfield, within 20 yards, vvitt.out dicovery,and we were not hailed until by the look outs on the ram. The cutter was then cast off and ordered below, while we made fur our enemy under a full head of steam. The rebels sprang their rattle, rang the bell, and commenced firing, at the same time repeating their hail and seeming much cons fused. The light of a fire ashore showed me the ironi-clad made fast to the wharf with logs around her about 30 feet from her side. Passing her closely, we made a complete circle, to as to strike her fairly, and went into her bows on. By this time the enemy's fire was very severe, but a dose of canister at short range seemed to moderate their zeal and disturb their aim. Paymaster Swan, of the Otsego, was wounded near me, but how many more I know not. Three bullets struck my cloth. ing, and the air seemed full of them, In a moment we had struck the logs just abreast of the quarter port, breaking them in some feet, our bows resting on them. The torpedo boom was then lowered, and by a vigorous pull I succeeded in diving the torpedo under the overhang, and exploding it at the same time that the Albemarle's gun was fired. A shot seemed to go crashing through my boat, and a dense mass of water rushed in from the torpedo, filling the launch and completely disabling her. The enemy then continued his fire at 15 feet range, and demanded our surrender, which I twice refused, ordering the men to save themselves and removing my overcoat and shoes. Springing into the river, I swam, with others, into the middle of the stream, the rebels failing to hit us. The most of our party were captured, some were drowned, and only one Escaped besides myself, and he in another direction. Acting Master's Mate Woodman, of the Commodore Hull, met him in the water half a mile below the town, and assisted him as best he could, but failed to get him ashore. Completely exhausted, I ma. naged to reach the shore, but was too weak to crawl out of the water until just at daylight, when I ma naged to creep into the swamp close to the fort. While hiding close to the path the Albemarle's offs■ cers passed, and Ij udged from their conversation that he ship was destroyed. Some hours' travelling in the swamp served to bring me out well below the town, when I sent a negro in to gain information, and found that the ram was truly sunk. Proceeds log through swamp, I camp to a creek, and captured a skiff belonging to a picket of the enemy, and with this, by eleven o'clock the next night I made my way out to the Valley City. Acting Master's mate William L. Howorth, of the Monticello, showed, as usual, conspicuous in bravery. He is the same officer who has been with me twice in Wilmington harbour. I trust he may be promoted when ex. changed, as well as Acting Third Assistant Engineer Stolsbury, who, being for the first time under fire, handled his engine promptly and with coolness. All the officers and men behaved in the moat gallant Manner. The cutter of the Shamrock boarded the Southfield, but found no guns there. Four prisoner were taken there. The ram is now completely sub merged, and the enemy have sank three schooners in the river to obstruct the passage of our ships. I desire to call the attention of the admiral and de partment to the spirit manifested by the sailors on the ships in these sounds. But few hands were wanted, but all hands were eager to go into the action, offering their chosen shipmates a month's pay to resign in theft favour. —I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant, " W. B. CUSHING, Lieutenant U.S.N." There is, however, no conclusive evidence tha the Albemarle was blown up at all. NIGHT SCHOOLS. —An important conference on the organization and management of Night Schools has been convened by the committee of the Metropolitan Adult Education Association, to be held at the house of the Society of Arts, on Tuesday next. The subject will be introduced to the conference by the Rev. Henry White, the originator of the Youth's Institutes. Sir Thomas Phillips will take-the chair, and the discussion will be open to all, as it is the wish of the committee to thoroughly ven tilate the subject in order to arrive at some practical results, „4, z) . t , 14- ' IIIIV, , - , Alleged Federal Enlists and Lend g On Tuesday evening the chief of the Liverpool. detective police received a communication from Mr. Geo. Underwood, of the Sefton Foundry, which led to inquiries, and it was found that 180 men and boys, between the ages of 16 and 39, had been brought from Ashton-under-Lyne by a per* son supposed to be a Federal recruiting agent, to embark on board the Great Western, lying in the Canada Dock. The men were generally cotton operatives who were short of work. For some time past placards have been posted in Ashton and the neighbourhood, offering employment to young men in extensive glassworks in New York at 15s. per week, with food end clothing. This supposed opportunity , had rapidly taken with these men. The "agent" is a man well known in Ashton; and it was understood that he had a brother similarly engaged iu London. The railway cirtiages con.. veying the Ashton men were locked throuAhout the journey. Oa arriving at the Sefton-stieet sta tion it was found that. a nurnte.e . of carts had been employed to convey the lads to the vessel. Many of them not having tasted food ail the day demanded of the men in whose charge they were that some.• thing should be given them to eat, but they. were told they should receive plenty on board the ship. The dispute attracted the attention of Mr Under wood, who, on inquiry, believing that the men were being duped, informed them.of his suspicions, and 150 of them refused to go on board. The " agent" was very violent, without effect. About 30 of them went to the vessel—and Mr. Underwood gave the others shelter on his premises. It is said there are 200 more men engaged at Ashton; also thatabouf 'SO; are now on board the vessel. The report that they were being kid napped reached the men on board, and several left after a violent attempt to restrain them. Yes terday it was ascertained beyond much room for doubt that tho men aro intended for recruits, but it is still doubtful whether the agents have brought themselves within the range of the Foreign Enlist ment Act. The circumstances are undergoing a strict investigation. LivEr.roo 4 7 P/Canesday Evening. The ship Great Western, for New Yerk;t - s.s been stopped in consequence of a statement that she has on board a largo number of passengers kidnapped for the Federal service under false pretences. The matter is to be investigated. . . • /_,. 1 • ' -.-.. .. ' . • ,‘ ~ ..'--i J., , '..- (~ %. , !- R - -!

Dr. Enter ton, P. Knightley, Esq , J. D. M. Pearce, Esq., Dr. Hodg son, P. Le Neve Foster, Esq. &c. Earl GRANVILLE, in opening the proceedings, said he had been requested by the committee to say a few words before distributing the prizes, and in the name of the patients and friends of the young men who were to receive the degree of associate in arts granted by the University of Oxford, to express to them their and his own congratulations of their success. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps at the same time they would allow him to say a few words on the occasion. It had always appeared to him that notwithstanding the great height to which general civilisation had arrived, yet in every country the s 3 stem of education was a matter of debate, as to the manner in which it should be applied to youth, and how its principles should be conducted. He had been lately in Italy, and was glad to find that great country—in the welfare of which they all felt so much sympathy—steadily progressing ; yet ono of the strongest feelings to be found there, was how to give education to the people and to ac quire a system which should meet the wants of all classes of the community. lie happened to reside with an intel lectual family who found considerable difficulty in the edu cation of a son. They thought it better at last that he should be educated at house, for at the present moment great dissatisfaction existed with the system purused iu the ecclesiastical colleges, where a letter could not be written by a youth, even to his mother, without its being opened and read by one of the superintendents. Now that was not a system which would for a moment be tolerated in this country. (Hear ) Then, with respect to France, there was no country in the world where the State had taken so much on itself in the matter of education, yet notwithstanding all thie there was great room for improvement, and several important changes were required. (Hear.) 'Then, as to themselves. Some of the most eminent of their prelates, of their clergy, of this statesmen, of literary men, and persons engaged in the promotion of education, held that that of their labouring classes required also some improvement. Some persons imagined that a retrograde step had been taken by the changes recently adopted ; but while he did not agree in those opinions ho would leave it to time to show that those opinions were not well founded. They had lately a commission appointed to inquire into the system adopted in the public schools of the country, by whom a most useful and excellent report was drawn up showing that while some cf them wore excellently conducted, still ho was bound to say with regret that in several of them the boys did not get those habits of industry which would bring education home to the daily habits of life, and especially as regarded those whose social position would entitle them in after life to ex rcise considerable influence on those by whom they were surrounded. Much had been said of the educa tion given to the middle classes, by which he meant that class who would not send their children to the national schools, but who could not afford to send them to those of a higher description, Much had been done in this respect already in Yorkshire, Sussex, Devonshire, and other coun ties in England by the examinations of the Society of Arts and by local examinations through the medium of the Lon don University, and last, though not least, by the exertions of such a body as that by whom he had the honour of being surrounded. (Hear, hear.) It was also impossible not to seo the advantages conferred on the cause of education by the benefits lately conferred on the country through the instrumentality of the learned and old Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The statistics presented to him on this subject were indeed very satisfactory, showing as they did an amount of• 37 per cent above the old system; and he was glad to say that London was 2 per cent even above that. I(Hear,) Still it was impossible not to see that education, after all, was not what it ought to be, yet the pre sent state of things was a type, which ought not to check the exertions of such a body as the present. On the whole subject an application was made to the Government by Lord Brougham, Earl Fortescue, Mr Chadwick, and others inte• rested in the subject, to issue a commission of inquiry, to which they had great pleasure in acceding, and in a few days he hoped tho names would be known to the public. When that occurred, it would be found that those only had been selected whose knowledge and experience would enable them to conduct the inquiry in an able and satisfactory man• ner, and with the utmost harmony as regarded the interests involved. The feeling of the Government was, that the in quiry should be a wide one, so as to fill up the void between the inquiry made by the commission of which the late Duke of Newcastle was chairman, on the education of the working classes, and the report lately published by the commis sion which inquired into the nine great public endowed schools of England. He could assure them that the recom mendations of that commission would be strictly attended to, .and that no restriction whatever would be placed in their way to prevent them making the most efficient inquiry. (Hear, hear.) llaving alluded to the speeches on this sub ject lately made by the Archbishop of 'York, Sir S. North cote, Lord Wodehouse, Canon Moseley, and by Mr Arnold of Oxford, he next referred to the address lately delivered at Nottingham by Mr Lowe, whom ho characterised as a man of rare ability. Ile said ho concurred in much that was said by the right hon. gentleman, but expressed an opinion entirely adverse to his as to the management of the endowed schools of the country. No doubt those schools yielded about £300,000 a year; and although the edu cation given in them might not have given general satis faction, ho did not believe the people of this country would ever consent to their entire destruction. (Hear, i hear.) Having alluded next to the impossibility f doing away altogether with classical learning, he concluded by earnestly congratulating the successful candidates on the honours they had attained, and hoped that success would be a forerunner of their prosperous career in this life and their happiness in the next. The noble earl then resumed his seat amid loud cheers, and the distribution of the prizes commenced. They consisted of books and the diploma of the 'Univer sity, which each candidate received at the hands of the noble earl, who wished each success in their future career. The number who received them was 148, showing to what an extent this system of local examination has progressed within the last few years. This ceremony being concluded, The Rev. Dr GOODWIN, in a brief but truly practical and eloquent speech, proposed a vote of thanks to the pre siding examiners, the Rev. E. Hill and the Rev. F. H. Joyce, for their valuable services at the late Oxford local examination held at this centre. The motion was seconded by the Rev. W. WILLIAMS, and was passed unanimously. Dr C. H. PINCHES (of Clarendon House School) next proposed, in most appropriate and eloquent terms, the grate ' ful acme of the meetiag for the kindness of Earl Cfranville STATE OP TRADE. DUNDEE, Nov. 15.—The improvement which was experienced last week was continued to-day, and although the business actually done was not perhaps so large as on Friday prices are steady and the market buoyant. The transactions reported in flax are not of great extent, bat the sales made are at full prices and holders are firm. Fine tow, both imported and heckled, are in good request, and a fair business has been done in them. Jute of good to fine quality is not abundant here, and being wanted commands a ready sale at quite last week's prices, The inquiry for yarns was active to-day, and the prices asked on Friday fur the 1 IOUS sizes of flax, tow, and jute qualities were freely paid ; some spinners asked a further advaice, but that was not acceded to, and where it was insisted on business was restricted. Linens continue to move off to a moderate extent, hut the, demand is not EO brisk as it was some time ago, although it is sufficient to keep manufacturers both in the town and throughout the district employed, and there are almost no stocks of any description of linen on their hands. _ LEICESTER, 16th.—There has been on the whole about an average amount of business doing in ho siery goods during the past few days. Yet orders are only given out for present requirements. In the rural districts business is quiet. Yarns are firm, and late quotations are realised. There is no ma terial alteration in wool, the market being steady. NOTTINGHAM, 10th.—There has been a little more it: quiry for lace goods in the home trade dur ing the past few days, and yarns have got up a little. Upon the whole the foreign trade continued very quiet. The large failures which have taken place on the Continent render buyers very cautious in ordering. The silk trade remains very flit, but it is expected that after Christmas black and white Bilk laces will be , A anted again. The American trade remains perfectly stagnant. Brown nets have been bought in small quantities, at prices quite un rctuunerative to the maker. The hosiery trade continues in a very quiet state, and little business is doing, except for immediate wants. Yarns are firui in price and have an upward tendency. Mr 11, Berkeley, M.P., at Bristol. The Colston anniversary was celebrated at Bristol, on Monday, in the usual manner. Mr H. Berkeley and Sir M. Veto were present at the dinner of the Anchor (Liberal) Society. In responding to the toast of " the Local Mem bora," Mr Berkeley said—We are, as regards parties, in a strange and anomalous position ; we scarcely know our friends from our foes. (Laughter.) The Whigs and Tories have been, if I may venture on a simile, like two men at the end of a chain, the one dragging backward, the other drag ging forward. The Tories have held back, and we Liberals have resolutely gone forward, until at length we have brought the Tories side by side with ourselves. (Cheers.) Now, it is owing to the progress of liberal opinions we have been enabled to do this, but there is danger in the position. Beware of Tories when they pretend to be Liberals. (Hear, hear.) They say to us, " Here we are side by side with you. You have had a Reform Bill. but you could not carry it. There is our Reform Bill, but you won't carry it." There you see for the first time Tories standing side by Biel° with us; they challenge us in the cause of reform. Well, gentlemen, it becomes you not merely to take an outward sight, but to look inwardly to the conduct of those men, to see if you can trust thorn, to see if you can trust their specious pretences of being Reformers, and see whether their professions amount to reality. Consider yourselves with Lord Palmerston as a Tory, whether that Tory has not done much in the reforms which have taken place in the last 30 years at least ; and ask whether Lord Derby shall replace him? You may say that Lord Russell has not gone in the first rank in the cause of Reform ; but will you tell me that Lord Malmesbury should re-place him ? (Hear, hear.) The present Ministry is accused of not going forward in the cause of reform ; but I am convinced that at present no Worm of the least service can arise in the House of Commons; I am satisfied that it must arise out of doors. You may blame your members, and say to them, "Go for ward ;" but whilst you, the people, don't move, it is impos sible for your members to move, (Rear, hear.) With re feience to our foreign relations, we are not at war, but we are laying out vast sums of money in, I believe, the worst direction. With the most extravagant expenditure caused in our army and navy departments, we are but little more effective for it. We have gentlemen who declaim loudly and say, "I will save £200,000 in the dockyards," Place those gentlemen in the navy, as I have known one placed, and he does not save you a shilling. (Cheers.) There is another gentlemen who goes about the country talking ex cessively loud, and endeavouring to pull down the present Ministry; but when he was sent to the Admiralty he said nothing. The moment, however, he gets out of office, he is the most loud man you have ; but he would be silent again if he were put into office. (Laughter.) One cannot help being reminded, when one hears of such things, of Dr. Johnson's definition of a patriot. Dr. Johnson says that a patriot means "a man in search of a place." (Cheers and laughter.)—Sir Stafford Northcote was among the speakers at the Dolphin (Conservative) dinner. The hon. baronet, who went into the subject of" Conservative reaction," sub mitted that tho reform proposed by the Conservatives was the only real amelioration 6if the evils which existed in the country, and ho trusted that in the next Parliament they , should have a decided Conservative majority. s I SENDING A LETTER TO HEAVEN.—A lady re 4 siding in the Rue de Rivoli returned some time since from a visit she had made in the department of Finistere, bringing with her a young orphan girl, poor, but very pretty, named Yvonne whom she engaged as her waiting-maid. Last month, a short time after her return to Paris, the lady died. When the body had been prepared for the coffin, and was for a short time left alone, Yvonne wag seen to go stealthily into the room, lift that upthe she had roud takent hen,anda in hastily rg leave. The first idea was which, at theer finger. exprese desire of the deceased, had beenle i l e, on h t h On examination, however, the ring was discovered to be untouched, but a paper was seen attached with a pin to the shroud. On inspection it was found to be a letter addressed by the young orphan to her mother, who died two years ago, and was as follows :—" My good Mother,—l have to tell you that M. B-- has made me an offer of marriage. As you are no longer here, I beg you to make known to me in a dream whether I ought to marry him, and to give me your consent. I avail myself, in older to write to you, of the opportunity of my mistress, who is going to heaven." The letter was addressed "To my Mother, in Heaven." The person alluded to in the letter is one of the tradesmen of the deceased lady, who, having been struck with the good conduct of the young girl, had made her an offer of mar. _.. •; FI K ~ .-,a .. .. j(y NEW NOVEL.
